Before moving to a new place, the number one fear faced by expats is… the language barrier.

It comes before the fear of being too far away from friends and family, and way before things like culture shock or lesser healthcare and infrastructure standards.

And although we can speak Spanish and communicate well enough in Russian, there is nothing like the feeling of seclusion that comes with not being able to understand the news, the shop vendor, or the taxi driver.

A kind smile and hand gestures go a long way, but that’s not really a fulfilled life, is it?

There is so much value in these micro-interactions that there is little wonder that people who don’t speak a second language are hesitant to move abroad.

In this video, Andrew shares second citizenship without learning a new language.

  1. If you need to learn a new language, don’t let that scare you off, look forward to it y’all! How cool would it be to pass on the knowledge you gained from your parents to your children with a few upgrades? 🙂

  2. I love the way you explain everything. You are the only one who explain everything in detail. I wish that i can join you but unfortunately I not rich enough. But I will keep trying.

  3. I come from an english speaking country, attended a Canadian College. One of the courses was English. Got an A and STILL had to do IELTS for Canadian Immigration. It expired after 2 years and had to do it AGAIN! Like my english got worse while living in Canada. Talk about money making scheme. 🤦

  4. You forgot to mention the easiest citizenship by investment program, and that is in Ukraine. You go to the right government agent give him/her a couple hundred dollars and you are a citizen. You also get one on the black market, but that's probably a little lesser of a quality.

  5. From my father side my great grandparents were Scottish from his mother side from his father's side Swiss . I don't know if I can get my British citizenship if we go so far .
    I look up my family tree and you won't believe it but I'm the 12th cousin of the Queen and 16th cousin of Bill Gates no joke .
    We found even relatives way back to 15th century.
    But I never go look or ask if I can get citizenship by descent.

  6. Here in Brazil for permanent residency no minimum language skills are required ,To Naturalise you need to prove proficiency in Portuguese ,unless you have been permanently legally resident for the previous 15 years.
    However you will need at least a working knowledge of Portuguese for everyday life. Definitely don't rely on English or Spanish being spoken here.

  7. My heritage is India. Not a "great" passport if you are an international traveler. I was born in the USA, and have a US Passport. You can also add the fact that India does not legally permit it's citizens to be dual. What therefore have is a OCI visa. Though the name, Overseas Citizen of India, is misleading, it's not a citizenship. It's like India's equivalent to a US Green Card.

    Do I desire an Indian citizenship? Not really. I don't have a reason to get it.

    That is the thing. There are countries that legally forbid dual citizenship. India is one. Maybe that will change in time.

    —-
    My wife is a dual… Vietnam and USA. She has a Vietnam passport and citizenship, but she hardly uses it. She only uses it when it's convenient, as Vietnam doesn't really have a useful passport as a traveler.

    The only country that ever harassed her about the US vs Vietnam passport was India. It took me to 'buck up' to the immigration officer to back off ..he knew I was OCI.

  8. I think having another citizenship without wanting to learn the language us a bit like buying a Ferrari without knowing how to drive. It is kind of useless and rude towards the people of the country.

  9. Very timely, thanks Andrew.
    Been working on learning another language to apply for citizenship by descent in Eastern Europe; one stipulation is to take the oath in the target country's language.
    Consulate told me I'd need to speak their language functionally, working on it now.

  10. Hello Andrew, big fan of your videos and your book which I'm more than half way through! I was wondering if you could do a video on precious metals? I'm not sure if there is one in previous videos but that would be great thank you.

  11. Can you give me an idea of what kind of attorney to look for? Looking for help to get a court order to amend a grandparents documents for citizenship be descent.

  12. you need a good level of language to understand official documents. And that it takes long time to learn. And when you get older it´s much difficicult to learn a new language.

  13. Lots of people are uprooting, releasing all the public lies and confront all the personal nonsense. In order to acquire proper comprension, create new knowledge about the world and yourself, you're going to need provincial language. For merely escaping the provinces, AE is the best. It's interesting for parents these days. I speak seven languages. Don't recommend it since it's bewildering. Identity is void. Behavior is very important. Culture and ecology are very important. Asset protection is doable but not necessarily easy.

  14. You should learn the language of any country you reside in to conversational fluency at a minimum. I don't say this for some cultural reason but speaking from experience. As an American who has lived/worked in Asia, LATAM, and Europe for years I can assure you that things will and do go wrong. Just like anywhere else in the world, the most unexpected things imaginable can and do HAPPEN and when they do you DO NOT WANT to be the bumbling American who can't speak or understand a single word of what is being said ESPECIALLY if lawyers, the police, criminals, or even just an angry local (these exist everywhere) get involved. Don't limit yourself to English only countries, and don't limit yourself to speaking a single language by choice. Sorry, but learning a new language…IN THE COUNTRY…is a piece of cake. Yes, even Chinese.

  15. I only speak English fluently, can get by in German and my Turkish is slowly improving. My feelings are that if one doesn't respect the culture enough to at least try to communicate in the host country's language, that person doesn't deserve citizenship. I know 'at least try to' is subjective, but my goodness, leave your laziness in your home country!

  16. this was my 3rd time in reapplying for my hungarian one, I am still waiting LOL! I applied here now so should be smoother. My dad was born in Hungary we go back 500 years in this country. I speak the language fluently however for me its not required because they said im already hungarian. Still need to wait though. In Canada they screwed up my applications big time. what a nightmare. I have been waiting now for 4 years.
